Meet Jenna
With experience designing gardens for friends and a deep passion for thoughtful, intentional landscapes, I set out to create outdoor spaces that truly reflect the people who want to enjoy them.
Owner and designer of Lanier Landscapes
Nature has always been a part of my life. As a child, I spent countless hours in the garden alongside my mother, learning the rhythm of the seasons and the joy of nurturing a living space. Now, living in Chevy Chase with my husband, three children, and our dogs, Gigi and Monty, I continue to find inspiration in the beauty of nature. I founded Lanier Landscapes in 2013 after noticing how many outdoor spaces felt impersonal — beautiful but lacking warmth, or functional but uninspired.
Jenna worked miracles and made our dreams come true. She assessed the sunlight angles of yard, and knew what plants would survive and thrive and where to place them in the yard. Her experience, knowledge, expertise, dedication, and service are very hard to come by. We are grateful for everything she did.”
“We have a challenging yard to work with and never had a space that we could enjoy.
"When my husband and I decided to transform the landscaping of our DC house, we wanted a low maintenance space, without sacrificing color. Lanier Landscapes was the perfect partner in bringing that vision to life. Jenna was a dream to work with. Our outside space is now our garden oasis. We highly recommend working with Jenna and Lanier Landscapes."
Jenna tackled the project with gusto in a cost-effective manner and residents are thrilled about the transformation!”
“Jenna helped us rework the gardens at the entrance to the Village of Drummond to improve motorist visibility and pedestrian safety, and allow for easier maintenance and we were blown away
“Jenna and her team are wonderful! Throughout the design process, she brought creative ideas to us and understood our need for a low fuss highly functional yard. Once we finalized the design, Jenna's team worked worked quickly and efficiently to landscape our backyard. We are now working with her on our front yard given the success we had!”
She is a delight to partner with and she has become a wonderful friend!”
“We worked with Jenna on landscape design for both our first and our second home. She is attentive to color preferences and maintenance requirements and is imaginative about design. She ensures quality and perfection and her enthusiasm is truly infectious.
“Jenna did our yard, which we fell in love with, but we recently had another challenging project come up at our community pool. She was the first person we thought of, and she did not disappoint! She installed everything and we were thrilled with how beautiful everything turned out. Can’t say enough good things about Jenna and Lanier Landscapes!”
“I can’t recommend Jenna Lanier of Lanier Landscapes enough! After meeting with several companies, I chose Jenna for her ability to intuitively understand my vision, even when I couldn’t clearly express it. Her designs harmonize beautifully with the property, exceeding my expectations.”
“I loved working with Jenna. She is responsive, creative, and incredibly knowledgeable. She designed a plan for our gardens in the front and back yards, working to keep some elements and redoing others. She is client-focused and really listened to what we were looking for. Her team is professional and does a fantastic job!”
“Jenna was wonderful to work with and really understood what we were looking for despite minimal guidance from us. She worked directly with a hardscaper to design a beautiful new patio and front steps/path, managed to keep a lot of the existing plants that were in good shape and fit with the space, and was really thoughtful about the new plants she introduced. The whole process was seamless and our yard looks gorgeous.”
“Jenna and her team are prompt, professional, attentive, and truly passionate about their craft. They took the time to understand our family lifestyle as well as the surrounding neighborhood and offered creative suggestions that elevated the look of our backyard. Jenna exceeded my expectations and I will absolutely use her again.”
Not only does she have the knowledge of every plant under the sun, she has the aesthetic mindset to make everything look beautiful together. She was so easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Jenna Lanier on a landscape project at my home and could not have been more thrilled!
A Blend of Beauty and Functionality
As a landscape designer in DC, I work with my clients to shape their outdoor spaces in a way that seamlessly blends beauty with functionality. Every detail is carefully considered to complement your lifestyle, resulting in a landscape that feels timeless, livable, and effortlessly in tune with the way you want to enjoy your surroundings.
Your space should feel like a natural extension of your home and a reflection of how you live, unwind, and connect. Too often, though, landscapes feel disconnected, underutilized, or difficult to maintain.
